Riassunto

The background to John's Gospel is temple tradition. John shows how Jesus' debates with the Jews centred on the great difference between the world of the second temple and the world of the priest-kings of the first temple from which Christianity emerged. The Johannine community were the Hebrew disciples of Jesus who saw themselves as the true high priesthood restored.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Praise for Margaret Barker's other books: 'The scope of The Older Testament is vast . . . nothing less than a total history of Israelite religion and of the formation of the Old Testament, and once it has been assimilated, almost nothing will look the same again.' --Professor John Barton, University of Oxford

'In Temple Themes in Christian Worship, Margaret Barker, as always, deploys a great range of scholarly equipment to invite us to rethink quite radically many of the conventional readings of the New Testament . . . This book is full of insight and challenge; some of its conclusions will be controversial, but it is a wonderfully learned and creative essay, drawing together much neglected or misunderstood material in a compelling new synthesis.' --Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge
